Mark Simmons Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 BRB-Having owned several Chevrolets from that era the easiest way to get the "stick" on the floor is to get a bell housing and 1/2 ton truck 3spd center(floor) shift transmission. The bell housing bolts to the back of the engine with no problem seeing as the 1/2 ton truck and cars were produced with the same engine. As I remember the two transmissions are the same length and universal joint size and have the same bolt pattern for the bell cover at the back of the trans housing. Why the need to convert to a LHD?
